Well today I hit a major milestone in my weight loss journey....80 lbs gone in a year! I am only 12 lbs from my goal weight :)
How did I do this? Well it was not always easy but the idea is simple. No miracle drugs. No starvation diet. No apple cider vinegar drinks. No master cleanse. No "no carbs" "no fat" "no sugar" "no this or no that" eating.
I ate healthy. I exercised. Period. Yup, that's it. See-simple.
I started out slow after having Lauren since she was c-section, walking and some light strength training were basically all I did for the first 3 months after she was born and then I started increasing the intensity of my workouts from there and incorporated running.
Oh, and yeah. I had a lot of support from friends and family. And my awesome girls in Work It Out Sexy Mama. Who knew that we could make workouts so much fun. Every challenge, little hint and trick we shared here and there has made this journey so much more amazing and fun! And there is not a single Drama-Mama in there. Thank you to every single one of you for being such an inspiring group of positive women!
A very special thank you to MumFerg who always has my back (and my ear) and helped me to develop my passion for running. You rock! To Skeydew and Blueliner for giving me the inspiration to train for arms TO DIE FOR!! You are both so strong & beautiful!! TO GIswife, JJsMommy, FXmomto3, Pink, Toddlermominoma, Cait030507, Karma719, thank for the everyday pick me ups, tips and encourgement along the way.
